Haven't really been following it all - after reading the article I think maybe its because Astro Bot had a larger audience because its generally more accessible?

Black Myth Wukong had one of the highest concurrent player counts of Steam of all time. The game was very popular in China.

Meanwhile Astrobot's sales figures were lacklustre, according to some reports.

I know a couple of my friends were pumped for it, bought Black Myth Wukong played it for a few days and never touched it again.

They really smashed the marketing for that game.
